Depart

left for Visala forest near the modern Bhadrinath. Dhruva was aware of the ephemeral nature of the world. He took dips in Ganga, performed Pranayama and meditation and lost consciousness while in deep Samadhi. Dipping in Ganga is to wash off all the impurities of the five sheaths of his body. All his Indriyas (senses and sense organs) became pure. There came a dissociation between his sense organs and their objects.

This universe bears the form of the Lord and therefore he worshipped the universe as Vishnu. When he was in Samadhi, the memory of the universe, his body, ego, and the I-ness receded into oblivion and the Vishnu's form took its place.

Two attendants of Vishnu, Sunanda and Nanda, came in brightly lit aerial car. They eulogized him and his devotion to Vishnu from the tender age of five and invited him to board the car for the abode of Vishnu, which was not even attained by his forefathers.

He paid his obeisance and bid farewell to all the Gurus and Mahans. As he was preparing to board the car, Death came in time; tabors, kettledrums and the like played on their own accord; Gandharvas showering flowers sent him on his way to Vishnu's abode (Vaikunta).

Suddenly a thought came to his mind: his mother. What about her? Shouldn't he take her with him? Knowing his mind, the two deities showed him the second aerial car with his mother aboard. Gods showered flowers at every stage in his journey, shouting praises and applauding him. He went by one planet after another on his travel. He went past the three worlds (the earth, the intermediate zone, and the celestial sphere), and the realm of the seven Seers. He reached the abode of Vishnu way above all worlds. It shines on its own effulgence, which the three worlds reflect. Only they who perform service to others, are of calm, collected, tranquil and fair-minded disposition and regard other devotees of Vishnu as his brother can go to the eternal abode of Immortal Vishnu.
